To all, I have addressed all of your comments.
First of all, all the issues here are getting twisted. Please pay attention to the show. I don't think anyone does otherwise there wouldn't be such comments.
No, I don't think ugly people should commit suicide, but if they want to get anywhere in life they have to change their appearance to a bit more attractive than the way Jassi looked. The only reason Arman hired her in the first place was because he did not want Pari.
completely agree with you here, you are very right when you observed that armaan did not hire jassi bcoz of her resume but bcoz he did not want to hire pari
I don't make the rules of the world. If you want to start the trend, go out and start looking like the way Jassi used to and change the world.....I dare you all.
i tend to disagree with you here. i agree that women are still evaluated in many places by her looks(incidentally so are men...nandu had a hard time getting a job inspite of his obvious genius in financial investments). however the new mantra is not looks but personality(remember sushmita took a lead over very photogenic aishwarya). while looks are a part of personality so are intelligence , humour, confidence etc. if you look at very sucessful women in any industry who rose to new heigts from thier humble beginning(several directors in banks like icici, film directors....etc), you will find that they were not great lookers but people with intelligence and confidence and they started 20 yrs back(it was a very male dominated society in india then)
The point I'm trying to make clear is that why do we discourage a woman who looks good and is out there making a name for herself in the world. Why do we prefer her to look unattractive. I believe that only if someone looked like Jassi, they would prefer everyone to be like her.
no one is trying to discourage women from looking good(it is her birthright). also no one seems to prefer a dowdy looking female to a knock out. however in the show change in looks seem to turn jassi into completely different person. she seems to lose her inherent sweetness with every day of makeover and that saddens me. why are being tough and bitchiness considered equivalent. why does having looks and confidence translate into being mean.it almost seems like jassi made a deal with devil and sold her soul for looks.there can be a sweetness and kindness even in most shallow and confident people(think of the protagonists in legally blonde and clueless). but jassi seems to change overnight into something very cold.
Watch the show and pay attention....she is not using Parub, he presented her with the opportunity to become a model. Another news flash to everyone......he fired his model not JESSICA. It's not Jessica's fault that he is madly in love with her. Parub needs to wake up and smell the coffee and realize that JESSICA is in love with him but with Arman and he know is, but still he is helping her.
purab is madly in love with jassi.he offered her an opportunity (i can assure you it was not completely levelheaded business decision). while it is not jessica's fault but there are times when you know what the other person is about, what he expects and how far he is willing to go for it. jassi knows that purab hopes to win her heart. she also knows that while purab offers a business contract , it is almost impossible to keep it impersonal. still she goes ahead with it . she is using him , even if she has no other alternative. or in other word let us just say that she takes purab for granted without an ounce of thought for purab's feelings or how she is leading him to his heartbreak once more.
Correct me if I'm wrong again, didn't she tell him that she was going to keep her personal life out the picture and was living with him ONLY to become a model and that too not to make money or get fame, but only to go back to GM. Lastly Parub is no stranger, if I'm not mistake she did conider him a friend and vice versa.
here are my questions
1) how do you keep your personal life out of picture when you are staying with a person, spending a huge chunk of your time in his close proximity(you even end up sleeping on his lap). he is picking up your clothes, taking care of your food and such.sounds like saying and doing are going to end up as two different issues. also as you said purab is her friend hence it is personal front once again intruding on a cold blooded business deal.
2)was being model the only way to return to gm(incidentally she never says she wants to go back to gm...she just says she wants to be very successful and avenge her parent's embarassment). what about jessica going in as financial consultant(she could be college friend of jassi).purab could always find a way to get her in gm.
When she was Jassi people were ganging up on her, but now as Jessica she will be able to fight them better. She has power which she did not have before. She can go back to GM and take care of business. As Jassi they would walk all over her, who would believe her story? and who did? News Flash to everyone...... he parents don't even believe her, what do you expect from the media?
nobody was ganging on her...infact jassi was more lucky than most. she had armaan, her gang and her friend nandu with her along with purab and nandini. it was only mallika and aryan who tried to push her out(even they supported her at times like during her term as ceo). actually pari is the one everyone ganged up on....the office gang made fun of her, aryan blackmailed her, armaan looked at her with disdain and raj used her. that was what ganging up means.she had more power as jassi than jessica when it comes to gulmohar. also her running away discredited her more than mallika and aryan ever could(there would be no question about the embezzelment of money since she was there to answer all quesions).her parents don't believe her bcoz she made some fatal mistakes by making false balance sheets and unfortunately malikka's accusation were quite close to home truth(she did play a role in gm's downfall even if it was by armaan's orders and she did love and had a romance with armaan even she she was not sleeping with him). to her parents (who saw her as very model honest , simple girl), all this was bound to come as a shock....hence the anger.
Talk about values, it works both ways. Where were Jassi's parents when she needed them? If I'm not mistaken she did come back, but her FATHER KICKED HER OUT!. What about a father's duty to trust her daughter. Bebe trusts her, but she can't do anything to help her. She even called the house, but her father was really to shoot her. What would you guys do? Billu made no attempt to even talk to his daughter to find out what the truth is. What about his values and teachings? I don't expect Jassi or Jessica to act the way she did and run away.
okie....let me ask you all, how many times have our parents ranted that we have disappointed them, they would rather not have a daughter/ son like us or they wish they would never see us again or something as hurtful. how many of us walk out of that house....none. all of us wait for them to cool down and then explain. billu had always stood by his daughter(more than any parents i have seen stand by thier kid), however she did the unthinkable from his point of view and let us just say he got very mad. what does jassi do she walks out of there to become model and take revenge instead of solving the current crisis and proving the accusations wrong.
Sorry, my parents love me enough to have full trust in me now matter what the media says or any stranger for that matter. I don't know about you guys, but normal parents who love their kids don't kick them out of the house based on false rumors.
well you are very lucky dear , however i wrote in detail why billu would have thought the accusations true.....refer to

As far as values go, just because she is staying with Parub doesn't mean anything. I'm sorry if I'm not mistaken, they haven't even touch each other. What does sanskars have to do with residing in someone else's house? What age are we living in again?
okay ...every society has a set of rules. they are there to avoid misunderstandings and complications. indian society does not look at an unmarried couple living together with a favourable view. most people who opt for live in relationship have to bear the brunt of societal wrath(unless they end up getting married later). a women should realise the risk she is taking by indulging in such decisions. what is wrong about demanding a hotel room or an apartment close to purab's house. i am sure purab would have understood(being mature and worldly wise) had she insisted on it. it does not matter to him since he is still open to marrying her but since jassi/jessica has no such intentions, she was supposed to raise the issue.okay it is 20th century but somethings never change.
Why is everyone so harsh and dead set against blasting this character is beyond me. As far as I'm concern and most liberal and open minded individuals will agree is that JESSICA deserves the spot light she has achieved.
nobody is being harsh or is dead set against the character. actually i am applauding this new twist . however if you are a blf fanatic, or jjkn fanatic.....in the original storyline, betty never loses her simplicity and sweetness(even after makeover). she is the same person inside even if her body has been primmed up.she ends up retaining viewer's sympathy till the very end. in indian version she keeps going overboard. as jassi she was very stupid to the extent that most people found it hard to identify with her or sympathise with her, when she went for makeover she went overboard with her coldness/singlemindedness. the masses once again are finding it hard to sympathise with her. if she turns as manipulative as mallika or meenaxi, why should her efforts be applauded while thiers condemned . in short how is she different from them.
Part of what Jessica is doing is because this is a non fictional soap. I really don't want to debate on a directors point of view of entertaining the audience. Watch the show for what it is.
once again agree with you
Everyone should just relax, the show hasn't even come to an end. JESSICA is and will in the end be a true winner.
Cheers!
